How can you make a 3D model of Alaska's Northern Lights?

depends on how realistic you want to get, 1)wire, cotton Balls, Spray paint. or 2) a fish tank of water (10 gal plus) cloud the water and shine a light through the tank at say 45* angle. or a laser pointer moving side to side. might get the desired effect. I lived up North at the Peace River for over 4 years and would often sit in my car and watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky. I still can't get over the beauty of it. I suggest you use shards (uneven pieces of colored plexiglass or colored shards of mirrors) each piece glued (with glass glue) at uneven angles length-wise and put a strobe light affect behind them giving them a vision of colors dancing into each other. Or use the above and a colored multi-colored strobe light behind clear shards of plexiglass of glass. P.S. Shards are uneven pieces of plexiglass or glass with semi-sharp edges.

The compass you have is likely a vintage or antique navigational compass made by Keuffel & Esser Co. in New York. The ring around the compass is called a bezel, which is used for adjusting the direction. The key on the right side is a locking mechanism to hold the needle in place while not in use. This type of compass was commonly used by explorers, surveyors, and engineers for navigation and land surveying.

Is it odd to not see a fetal pole at 5 weeks?

It is not uncommon to not see a fetal pole at 5 weeks as it may be too early to detect on an ultrasound. The fetal pole typically appears around 6 weeks of pregnancy, so it's possible that it may be too early for it to be visible. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a follow-up ultrasound if needed.

Why are you having such a horrific time getting over your narcissistic husband of six years when you split up six months ago at his insistence?

I need not tell you that narcissists are chameleons and can charm the devil himself if they want too, yet turn around to their spouse and be brutal and cruel. Narcissists are selfish, egotistical, controlling to a point of mind-games and it can even turn into physical abusers. YOU have been mentally abused and you've been walking on egg shells for years. It's normal to have the feelings you do. No matter whether you ex husband was narcissistic you had some good times at the beginning and therefore good memories. You may have had children together and that is a bond no one understands, but it's there. You are in the "blame mode" and that's normal. You wonder how things could have changed so drastically and it had to have been your fault! Not true! You should get a medal for putting up with this guy and it's a wonder you lasted this long. Thank him from the bottom of your heart (just literally) that he insisted you split-up ... he did you a favor! You have invested a great portion of your life in this man and sometimes good relationships turn sour. I was married to an abusive/physically and cheating man for 3 1/2 years. The sad part about it is I saw these traits in him before we got married, but being young I really thought I was "the one" and I could change him. Let me tell you, that was the best lesson I ever learned! I finally got the courage up to leave him. I found an apartment (never lived on my own before), decided to stop seeing the friends my ex and I had chummed with, made new friends and got a new job. I must admit it was tough for awhile and I would cry myself to sleep many nights. I felt like an old rag that had just been thrown into a garbage can and I wondered what was wrong with me???? Later I wondered where my brain cells were! LOL After going through all that I realized that those feelings I had were like losing a loved one to death and indeed I was mourning a death ... the death of a marriage. In time I stopped blaming myself and realized that we don't have control over others and we can't change people if they don't want to change. It isn't always our faults, although in society we are often led to believe part of it had to be our fault. Not true! What you are going through is very normal and try going with the flow. When it gets you down, get busy! Throw yourself into work, meet new friends and try to have a little fun. You are worth something! Go get a new hairstyle and buy a few new clothes just to make yourself feel better. Get a new outlook on life. Give yourself a chance to know who you are, what your strengths and weakness' are and I can tell you, you'll be pleasantly surprised. You got along just fine before you met your ex and you can do it again! Good luck & God Bless

How far away from the North Pole is the Magnetic Pole?

The Earth's Magnetic North Pole, where the magnetic field lines become oriented vertically, moves constantly due to the drift in the Earth's magnetic field. In 2005, the Magnetic North Pole was located at 82.7°N by 114.4°W. To find the magnitudal 2-D land displacement (distance) from the Magnetic North Pole to the True North Pole, multiply the difference between the Magnetic North Pole's latitude (+82.7) and 90 degrees, by 60 nautical miles. (Or: [90-82.7 = 7.3]×60 = 438 nautical miles). That value was correct for 2005, but keep in mind that any latitudinal shift in the position of the Magnetic North Poll indicates a change in distance between the two.

What is the history of North Paulina Street north of Montrose in Chicago?

Well back in the year of i think in the late 1969 that area was run by the latin kings faction right there on montrose and paulina and cullom right in the middle of ravenswood school it was a a tuff neighborhod even with nice homes in the neighborhood it was a battle ground with the Latin Eagles that had there turf by lakeview highschool when school was in session you had the Simon city royals by ravenswood and irvingpark street and the gaylords east of montrose and clark.There was a ice cream shop on the corner of montrose and ashland called doctor jazz in the 70 but was closed down i think in the early or late 80 when 2 kids was gun down while eating ice cream in the place i think the gang the was responciable was the latin eagles or the Simon city royals.Montrose and Paulina was really ruff in them days

Answer

That area of Paulina was where I grew up. Back from 1970 thru 1990, the area was rough and on a downward spiral. The aforementioned gangs did exist, but are long gone. My best friend still lives on Hermitage and Montrose and has seen that area gentrify to the point where there are now million dollar properties there. I believe the gang members from back then are either in Jail or dead. There is a "Gaylords" website that I found. Its actually rather well put together. Oh by the way we, The Chase Park Boys" owned the Chase Park-Our Lady of Lourdes area back then. Most of us are now cops. Go figure......

Why does the international date line only touch north pole and south pole?

The International Date Line is an imaginary line that follows the 180° meridian. This line is drawn in a way that it avoids landmasses to prevent dividing countries or regions. The poles were chosen as the line's endpoints to have the least impact on human settlement.

Which country has 6 month night?

Only the north and south poles experience 6 months daylight/night, however the "midnight sun" can be seen for a few weeks in some locations north of the Arctic circle - such as northern Norway, Alaska etc.

Why south pole and north pole had 6 months of night?

This is due to the tilt of the earth, known as axial tilt. The direction of the Earth's axial tilt, as well as its angle relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun, remains very nearly constant over the course of a year (both change very slowly over long time periods). At northern midsummer the North Pole is facing towards the sun to its maximum extent. As the year progresses and the Earth moves around the sun, the North Pole gradually turns away from the sun until at midwinter it is facing away from the Sun to its maximum extent. A similar sequence is observed at the South Pole, with a six-month time difference.

Longest period of daylight?

The longest period of daylight typically occurs during the summer solstice, which falls around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During the summer solstice, locations closer to the poles experience up to 24 hours of daylight due to the tilt of Earth's axis.

How many hours of sunlight does the north pole get at the December solstice?

At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.

What is magnetic pole wandering?

Magnetic pole wandering refers to the gradual movement of the Earth's magnetic poles over time. The Earth's magnetic field is not fixed and can vary in strength and direction. The North and South magnetic poles have been observed to slowly shift their positions, with the North Magnetic Pole moving towards Russia at a rate of about 10 kilometers per year.

What are the prevailing surface winds at about 15 degrees north and south latitudes called?

The prevailing surface winds at about 15 degrees north and south latitudes are called the trade winds. In the northern hemisphere, they blow from the northeast, while in the southern hemisphere, they blow from the southeast. These steady winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and pressure differences between equatorial regions and higher latitudes.

How many steps does it take to get to the north pole?

This depends on a variety of factors:

1. Where are you?

2. How big are you?

3. Do you have any physical infirmities?

4. Are you a human? If not, what species are you?

5. What time of year is it?

6. What is the weather like?

The answer could range anywhere from 0 (At the North Pole already) to trillions (eg, an ant trapped at the South Pole).

What type of government is North Pole?

International Law states that the five countries that surround the Arctic Ocean are limited to a 200 nautical mile (370 km, 230 mi) Exclusive Economic Zone around their Arctic coasts. All the area beyond that is under the administration of the International Seabed Authority. A rather toothless Authority, thanks to the USA's non-ratification of the UNCLOS, (United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea).

Who has reindeer at the North Pole?

Reindeer at the North Pole are generally considered to be wild, and therefore do not have an owner. One children's story that is classic and timeless is about Santa Claus, who has a herd of eight reindeer that pull his sleigh around the world on Christmas Eve delivering presents to all children.
